Brooks of the College of Liberal Arts of Northwestern univer- sity. Dean Brooks made inquiries in twenty-five Phi Beta Kappas and Michigan was second with thirteen while Iowa came third with ten. In- dianna contributed seven to the learn- ed society and Missouri seven; then came Wisconsin with six and the rest were scattered among many states. Dean Brooks does not say that be- cause more Phi Beta Kappas at North- western hail from Illinois that Illinois is the brainest state in the nation but intimates that as she leads, one may safely draw a conclusion something like that since to become a member of Phi Beta Kappa at Northwestern, a student must have four excellent vears crowned each and every semes- ter with marks between 90 and a per- fect 100. Therefore, from the stand- point of quality alone Illinois thus far leads the procession at Northwestern university, he states. Florida Manufacturer Visitor on North Shore Harold Hemb has returned to his home at Titusville, Fla., after a brief visit with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hemb, of 515 Linden avenue, Wilmette. Mr. Hemb went to Titus- ville last fall and in the spring opened a large concrete block factory in that thriving little city on Indian river, where he has since been doing a splen- did business. He obtained contracts for furnishing all the blocks for the new city hall, the new court house, the new hotel and the fine new theater building. The large number of new homes and garages building in this section also further tax the capacity of his plant. He is at present em- ploying from twelve to fourteen men and is planning further expansion of this industry. His company is known as the Lamore Tile & Construction Co. PURCHASES VACANT TRACT I. K. Stover of the Frigidaire com- pany, a resident of Wilmette, has pur- chased from P. W. Bradstreet, a beau- tiful piece of vacant comprising a little more than one acre, at the southeast corner of Hill and Private roads, Win- netka, which it is said is to be de- veloped into a very high class resi- dence property. Graduates Make Special Study of Urban Property Urban property questions which are now attracting almost as much atten- tion as study of the troubles of Ameri- can farmers are to be especially stud- ied during the coming year be five graduate students at Northwestern university under the supervision of the Institute for Research in Land Economics and Public Utilities. These scholarships have been awarded to the following persons: Henry E. Keough, Ann Arbor, Mich., graduate of the University of Michigan; Frank Edward Mathews, Evanston, Ill, graduate of North- western university; John Spaulding McQuiston, Oskaloosa, Iowa, gradu- ate of Penn college; Walter Dale Mc- Laughlin, Iowa City, Towa, graduate of University of Towa; and Arthur Clytus Bayless, College Station, Texas, graduate of Agricultural and Mechan- ical college of Texas. The Institute at Northwestern uni- versity also offers two scholarships in the field of public utilities and a few days ago selection was made of the field of research: Duane Jennings, Iowa City, Towa, a graduate of the University of Iowa; and Barclay J. Sickley, Seattle, Wash., graduate of the University of Wash- ington. According to Arthur J. Mertzke, executive secretary of the Institute, while all of these scholars will be do- ing their research work in direct con- nection with and under the supervision of the Institute, of which Dr. Richard T. Ely is director, they will be regu- larly enrolled graduate students at Northwestern and as such will greatly strengthen the graduate school of that university. Mr. Mertzke also said that a considerably larger number of graduate students is expected to en- roll for similar work without stipend during the next year. "The scholars appointed to above-mentioned scholarships were chosen from a large group of ap- plicants," continued Mr. Mertzke. "Awards were made on the basis of the candidate's training and fitness for specialization in the respective fields." the Mrs. Percy Skillin and her two sons, Edward and David, of the Indian Hill apartments, together with a friend from Chicago, left Thursday by mo- tor for Eagle River, Wis., where they will spend three weeks. was under construction.
